3 days in Yorkshire with older parents

Three days in Yorkshire, built around short walks and long sits. Day one stays entirely on foot in York: The Shambles, then lunch at The Stonebow — under a quarter of a mile away, and holding a 5/5 food hygiene rating — before another quarter-mile stroll to the York Army Museum, which states disabled access. No car, no car park, no hurrying.

Days two and three do the driving for you. Buckden Pike sits 43.3 miles from York, a proper Dales run with National Trust land at the end of it; day three pairs South Cowton Castle with Kirkby Fleetham Hall, just 4.2 miles apart. Base yourself where the mornings are easy: Killerby Old Hall near Scarborough sleeps four, with Seamer station 2.2 miles off and Cayton Bay beach 1.1 miles away, rated Excellent for bathing water by the Environment Agency. Arriving by train? Starbeck is the nearest station to Yorkshire.
